Did you make your lucky Lemon Pig on New Year's? You didn't!? No luck for you from this ancient tradition... Or not?

The Book about Archaeology that isn’t about Archaeology.
The intriguingly named Evil Archaeology by Heather Lynn Ph.D., was a book I was looking forward to. Who doesn't like a nice spooky book on archaeology?

Caution and Certainty in Archaeology and Pseudoarchaeology.
Well, I finished reading America Before by Graham Hancock. I know there's already been several reviews about this book, and I'll be getting around to a much more in-depth one. (Because as I keep telling people, this is part of my thesis, and I may as well kill two birds with one stone). But if... Continue Reading →
